Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 848 Kui Niu
The world of gourds.

Ji Anjia took out fourth-grade spirit wine, spirit fruit and other resources from various warehouses, carefully put them into the Void Stone, and also put away several fourth-grade mid-grade Soul Nourishing Wood pendants.

If he encounters a battle, his magical power is insufficient to sustain a prolonged and intense fight, so he needs to replenish his magical power and spiritual resources.

The sect has too little of the Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Milk stored in its reserves; it must be reserved for the disciples when they break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He returned to the Gathering Yuan Tree and pondered for a moment, then said:

"Ayun, brew some lightning-struck wood jade dew golden bud tea, just two ounces of tea leaves, and make it strong."

Restoring magical power is relatively easy to solve, but restoring spiritual consciousness is a bit more difficult.

The Soul-Nourishing Wood pendants are not enough. The propagation of this spiritual wood is a mystery. If it could produce seeds, he would definitely be able to grow this spiritual plant at a very low price.

Since there wasn't much Soul-Nourishing Wood available, he had to use Spirit Tea instead. So he thought of brewing the tea in advance and sealing it in a jade bottle.

However, such tea cannot be stored for too long. The spiritual energy within it will not decrease, but the substances that can restore consciousness will evaporate out of thin air.

Only a small amount can be cooked, enough to sustain consumption for three or four days.

Ayun nodded gently and began to get busy.

Ji An lay comfortably on the rattan chair, his mind sinking into his dantian and connecting with the stone turtle.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao Yun: Gold 1602.4, Water 816.9, Wood 721.9, Fire 2428.5, Earth 1032.6]

Spiritual Ability: Kan Spirit 122367.9, Gen Spirit 121894.6, Zhen Spirit 120681.4, Xun Spirit 125185.6, Kun Spirit 121452.3, Qian Spirit 123087.2, Dui Spirit 121538.5, Li Spirit 123684.7

[Spell: Thread-Binding Spell (3% Success Rate)]

He spent a considerable amount of time practicing the Silk-Pulling Mantra that year, but his skill only improved slightly and progressed very slowly. It would take him more than forty years to perfect the secret technique.

Arcane techniques allow for multitasking, which is extremely useful in complex combat situations.

Once the sect has the ability to refine fourth-tier puppets, he can also control multiple Nascent Soul level puppets to fight at the same time and experience the thrill of overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers.

Ji An took out the inheritance jade slip passed down from the Three Flowers Realm Ancestor of the Five Elements Sect. The information in the jade slip could be used to view the cultivation of the late Nascent Soul stage and what preparations should be made to break through to the Three Flowers Realm.

He was very curious about what kind of content would be revealed in the jade slip once he broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Once you break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, you face the pressure of breaking through to the next realm. As can be seen from the contents of the jade slip, to leave the cultivation world and safely pass through the Heavenly Net, you need a massive amount of Xuanhuang merit energy.

Calling this world the world of cultivation is not quite appropriate. The world includes not only the Eastern Continent, but also the Western Continent and the vast ocean.

These merits are bestowed upon cultivators by the cultivation world, and when they leave, they must return them all to this world. No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation.

Ji An sighed and said softly:

"Fortunately, I have one more skill than other late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators: purifying pollution."

Once his cultivation reaches the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, his focus will shift to acquiring the Xuanhuang Merit Qi.

By then, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag will be at least a fourth-grade high-quality flag, and he will use Daoist rhyme to prioritize upgrading the Wuji Earth Dao Seed to a higher grade.

Next, enhance the Ren and Gui water element seeds. If they still possess Daoist charm, then enhance the Jia and Yi wood element seeds.

With these spells, we can surely transform the Land of Desolation.

Instead of trying their luck to capture meteorites in outer space, they should use their advantages to turn desert into fertile land.

Of course, once his cultivation reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, he will still pass through the Gangyun (罡云) to experience the magnificent starry river in the sky up close.

The aroma of tea wafted over, and Ji An called out:
"Put the tea into the water tank first, and I'll seal it after it cools down."

He left the rattan chair and sat cross-legged under the Gathering Yuan Tree, beginning to cultivate the Five Elements Revolving Scripture.

More than two hours later, he finished his cultivation, put the herbal tea into a jade bottle, and took out a relic to examine it carefully.

Ji An pondered what kind of power the power of vows truly was and how to utilize the relics.

This was the highest-grade material he possessed, and not knowing its purpose made him quite unhappy.

He activated the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame to begin refining the relic. Flames flickered, and the relic emitted seven-colored light, without undergoing any change in the flames.

After a moment, Ji An stopped activating the Heavenly Flame, frowning in thought. 'Is the flame not strong enough, or is there some other reason?'

He knew too little about Buddhist cultivators; to be precise, even the cultivation world didn't know much about Buddhist cultivators. Therefore, he had no way of knowing what the relics were for.

After pondering for a long time without finding a solution, Ji An changed his strategy and activated the Netherworld Bone Fire to refine the relic.

After a while, he shook his head in dejection, as neither the Yin nor Yang spiritual fires could harm the relic in the slightest.

He put the relics away and lay back down on the wicker chair to sleep peacefully.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could precisely control his body, making falling asleep a breeze.

He can fall asleep in extremely noisy environments while still being able to hear the sound of a leaf falling in the distance.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, the waning moon was reduced to a faint sliver, and the stars appeared to shine brightly.

Ji An stepped out of the cave, and colorful auspicious clouds rose beneath his feet, flying northward.

On his way to Zhongzhou, he killed Kongwen and fought another Buddhist cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage in the same place. Fearing that the road was unsafe and that Buddhist cultivators might be lying in wait, he decided to detour through the far north this time.

To travel from the far north to the Middle Kingdom, one must fly along the coastline, but without the influence of the Land of Annihilation, one can fly at full speed.

After his internal magical power was depleted by more than half, he summoned the flame banners that had risen off the ground and sat cross-legged on the warm back of the fire phoenix.

The phoenix let out two joyful cries, its loud voice startling birds from their roosts within a radius of dozens of miles.

Some birds that were closer to them were ignited by the fire elemental divine intent, their blood instantly turning scalding hot, and they fell back down as soon as they took off.

His passion quickly cooled, but he never woke up again.

Ji An gently patted the fire phoenix's neck and said:

"From now on, when you neigh, do not activate the Fire Element Divine Will, unless you are fighting an enemy!"

Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment, otherwise it would have caused a lot of casualties.

The stronger a cultivator is, the greater their destructive power over their surroundings. The spiritual pressure they unintentionally release can terrify many living beings to death.

According to the inherited knowledge, high-level cultivators are unwilling to get involved in racial conflicts or show themselves in public because meaningless killings will cause them to be entangled with the evil energy caused by the death of living beings.

If the evil energy accumulates to a certain level, it will affect cultivation.

This isn't scary, because cultivators can resolve it themselves. How? By accumulating merit.

This has created a strange phenomenon: the higher the level of a cultivator, the more peaceful their mindset and the less they are willing to commit killings.

Merit and virtue are precious; how can they be used for something as simple as dispelling evil spirits!
Thinking of this, Ji An felt a surge of grievance.

During the Tribulation of True Demons, he killed so many True Demons, yet Heaven and Earth did not bestow any merit upon him.

If merit had fallen upon cultivators at that time, the cultivation realm's attitude towards the great calamity would likely not have been one of passive defense, but rather proactive attack. Half a month later.

The sky and sea merge into one color, the setting sun melts into gold, and Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) soars across the vast expanse of misty waves, creating a distinct wave below.

Here, the moisture is abundant, and the speed at which Xuanwu flies here can exceed that of the Plain Cloud Banner and the Flame Banner.

Ji An dropped the high-grade spirit stone in his hand, which turned into fine powder as it fell.

He looked into the depths of the sea and communicated with the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag mentally:
"Turn your head west."

He sensed the vibrations of spiritual energy in the air, which were very similar to the vibrations experienced when breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Xuanwu let out a deep roar, and the waves traced graceful arcs.

A moment later, the color of the seawater turned deep, indicating that it had entered the deep sea area.

As Xuanwu continued to penetrate deeper, Ji An felt the shockwave growing stronger.

After flying thousands of miles, he saw a vortex of spiritual energy, covering hundreds of acres, swirling on a distant island, where dense water spiritual energy gathered and caused torrential rain.

"Haha, a sea beast has indeed broken through to a higher realm."

Ji An gestured to put away Xuanwu and rode the cloud slowly forward.

The spiritual energy stored in the magical artifact has been mostly used up, so it cannot be used too aggressively. It needs to be returned to the dantian for nourishment.

The colorful auspicious cloud flew to a place forty or fifty miles away from the spiritual energy vortex and stopped, hovering a thousand feet above the sea surface. He leisurely prepared to watch the show.

Three days later, thunder shook the surrounding area, accompanied by the roar of raging bulls.

Because of the great distance, Ji An could not see what kind of creature was undergoing tribulation, but the only sea monster that could make a roaring sound was the Kui Niu.

This is a powerful demon beast, almost comparable to the Five-Colored Deer.

"Hehe, I'm rich! It's more profitable to encounter a demon beast during its tribulation."

Ji An chuckled a few times. In the current situation, after the stone turtle obtained the Daoist essence, it could still kill a Nascent Soul level demon beast, doubling its joy.

Even if a demonic beast dies under the lightning tribulation, you can still get a top-grade third-tier demonic beast for free, which is still a good deal.

Several hours later, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder struck, accompanied by the roar of a bull, which was unruly and arrogant.

The purple thunderclouds dispersed, the gloomy sky brightened, and a full moon appeared above the waves.

Ji An no longer rode the colorful auspicious clouds, but replaced them with white mist, drifting like a naturally formed white cloud towards the place where the thunder struck.

As the white clouds drifted by, he made a hand seal, releasing an energy as firm as metal and stone.

The skin shimmered with a silvery light that quickly disappeared, revealing extremely faint patterns on the face and the back of the hands.

Summoning a spiritual treasure would inevitably cause a spiritual energy fluctuation, so he did not summon any spiritual treasures and secretly sneaked in.

Before long, Ji An saw a huge creature with a bluish-green body and a hornless bull's head breathing in the moonlight on the island. It was the Kui Niu, which was ten zhang tall.

He probed the cave stone with his divine sense and found several jade bottles for later use.

The Kui Niu had several charred marks on its body, which must have been caused by being struck by lightning.

The white clouds drifted for a while longer before the Kui Niu stopped and looked up at the sky warily. Its intuition told it that something was wrong with the huge cloud that was drifting over.

Ji An observed the target's movements and, without intending to conceal his presence, released a burst of golden light.

At the same time, he made a hand seal and released the Taibai Extinction Sword.

The six spiritual treasures left his dantian at his will, the five flags spread out, preparing to intercept from different angles, and the Xuanwu leaped into the sea; the Five Elements Divine Mountain suddenly grew larger, emitting five-colored spiritual light.

Feeling the overwhelming spiritual pressure pressing down like a giant mountain, how could Kui Niu not know what it was about to encounter!
It roared like thunder, and in an instant, a gale arose, and a torrential rain fell without warning, the mist spreading out in an instant to conceal its presence.

It wanted to use the mist as cover to escape to the nearby sea, where it could escape its predatory intent once it entered the water.

But it was too late; it realized the danger too late.

Five-colored spiritual light shone upon it, and the Kui Niu, which had just leaped up on one leg, was pressed down onto the rock by tremendous force.

A silver flying sword, about ten feet long, arrived, wrapped around the target's neck, and the bull's head was sprayed with gushing blue blood.

A blood-red shadow rushed towards Ji An like a ghost; it was the Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Curse.

He couldn't bear to repeat the same mistake, so he made a hand seal and released Chaotic Five Elements Thunder to shatter the blood curse.

In the next instant, Ji An arrived beside the Kui Niu. He used his object manipulation technique to gather the gushing blood and put it into a prepared jade bottle.

After draining the monster's blood, Ji An quickly set up the Xuanwu Armor Formation and stored the spoils in his small world.

The Kui Niu was so large that it could not be stored in the Cave Void Stone without being cut.

Without bothering to cut down the demonic beast, Ji An quickly left the small world, put away the defensive array, and activated the Five Directions Flags to form a defensive domain, preparing to wait for the prey to come to him.

The Kui Niu has the Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Curse on him, and there's a high probability that he has an elder. As for why the elder isn't by his side, he's too lazy to investigate further; there are too many possibilities.

Encountering a Nascent Soul level sea beast in the vast ocean is not easy, and if he has the protection of a Dao Ancestor, he may gain even more.

He decided to stay there for three days, and leave if no other Kui oxen arrived.

Ji An used Earth Escape Technique to arrive at the mangrove forest a few miles away from where the Kui Niu died, and activated his Wood Element spiritual power to merge with the forest.

In the deep sea, two strong Kui Niu were fighting against several black dragons. Suddenly, the larger Kui Niu's blue eyes became bloodshot, and it charged towards the strongest black dragon with all its might, as if going mad.

Ignoring the attacks of the other black dragons, it fearlessly charged towards its target.

The evenly matched balance was quickly broken when the black dragon's tail was blown off by the Kui Niu's innate divine power, the Gui Water Divine Thunder.

As it was injured, the black dragons retreated in defeat and eventually fled.

The black dragons were even faster at escaping through water, and the two Kui oxen could not catch up.

The smaller Kui ox came to its mate and asked:
"What happened?"

The innate supernatural power consumes a lot of energy and is not used easily.

"The Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Curse I cast on the child has been activated!"

The male Kui Niu almost crushed its teeth. The Kui Niu clan had a difficult time conceiving, and with many enemies, the offspring's growth environment was extremely harsh. However, once they survived the transformation tribulation, the children were much safer.

Two of its offspring died young, and the one that died was its only son.

To avoid the Mo Jiao, with whom he had a blood feud, he and his partner lured the enemy away, sending their child to the outer sea for a breakthrough. The spiritual energy there was relatively thin, but there wouldn't be any enemies of sufficient strength. Little did they know that this decision would harm their child instead.

The female Kui Niu cried out in a frenzied voice, "Was it the Black Dragon Clan who did it?"

"I don't know. The Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Curse has dissipated, but I can sense the approximate location where the Blood Curse disappeared."

The female Kui ox's shrill voice boomed like thunder: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! We're going to the outer sea!"

Whoever killed its child must pay with their blood!
